Chapter 16 Chapter Sixteen

Bai Xue and Xiao Jiang died one after another, Hu Maoshu's life and death were uncertain, Hu Boss and Shi Fucai disappeared, plus the threatening letter sent to Ma Guoqiang and Ma Tao's kidnapping, all these made Yuan Qing further aware of the relationship.Two days ago, Deputy Mayor Wang Jiancheng had a talk with him, and he couldn't fathom the meaning of the words.Wang Jiancheng and Ma Guoqiang agreed on the matter of investigating the black hands behind the commercial building, but Wang Jiancheng was lukewarm about Ma Tao's kidnapping, saying that Ma Guoqiang had gone too far on certain issues.

Wang Jiancheng didn't say exactly what things Ma Guoqiang went too far.I remember that Wang Jiancheng said to him at the end: "Little Yuan, sometimes there is no need to be so serious, otherwise it will affect your future. I have told Vice Governor Chen many times that you are a very capable person. The governor also affirmed your ability to work. It's not easy!" Yuan Qing pondered for a long time, but he still couldn't figure out what Wang Jiancheng's last sentence meant. Hu Maoshu didn't die, but because of the severe blow to the back of the head, although he was alive, he looked like a disabled person.

After Yuan Qing reported the progress of the case to Ma Guoqiang, Ma Guoqiang instructed: "No matter what, Shi Fucai and Boss Hu must be arrested." Not long after Yuan Qing hung up the phone, Liu Shi'an called and asked about the progress of Ma Tao's disappearance case.On the phone, Liu Shi'an repeatedly emphasized that Ma Tao is the mayor's beloved son, and he must be guaranteed to be safe no matter what. Yuan Qing smiled bitterly. He never wanted to rescue Ma Tao as soon as possible, but those people were too cunning. When the special case team investigated and collected evidence, they learned from the Red Mansion Restaurant that Shi Fucai and Liu Shi'an had a very good personal relationship.

What role did Liu Shi'an play in this matter?Yuan Qing frowned. It seemed that as long as Shi Fucai was caught, all problems would be solved. A car is driving on the mountain road. The driver, Xiao Li, sat behind Ma Guoqiang, and Secretary of the Disciplinary Committee Wen Sanchun. They had just returned from a meeting in the province.The car was driving on this mountain road, and Ma Guoqiang looked out of the car through the glass.On one side is a hillside, on the other side is a cliff. There was a car accident the last time I passed here.Fortunately, he only scratched the surface that time.Passing by this place again this time, he still has lingering fears when he thinks of the first encounter.

Ma Guoqiang looked out the window and said thoughtfully, "Where have I seen this mountain before?" "Mayor Ma has a good memory," Xiao Li said, "This is where TV dramas were filmed." Wen Sanchun smiled and said: "I heard that before liberation, this was a place where bandits haunted, and the leader of the bandits was Xie Guangming. After more than a year after liberation, the bandits were wiped out. There was no road before, and it was built later. There is only a mountain pass here. , the bandits guard the mountain pass, it is simply 'one man guards the pass, ten thousand men cannot open'."

"Really?" Ma Guoqiang was very interested. Wen Sanchun said happily, "There are still photos taken when Xie Guangming was shot in the city library." As soon as the words were finished, a large truck rushed out from the side of the road and rammed into their car. Xiao Li couldn't help but turn the steering wheel and shouted loudly at the same time: "Mayor Ma, Secretary Wen, sit down! " Ma Guoqiang was startled, holding on to the handrails with both hands, but the car had already rushed towards the hillside. Although it stopped, it turned over due to too much inertia. He suddenly felt that his eyes went dark, and he didn't know anything...

Yuan Qing rushed to the hospital after receiving the call about the accident. He saw Ma Guoqiang and Wen Sanchun lying in the ward. Ma Guoqiang heard someone calling him softly, opened his eyes with difficulty, and saw a blinding white light, the walls were white, the people were wearing white clothes, and the bed was also white. He understood that he was lying in the hospital. He thought of the car accident and saw Tong Yanzhen next to the bed: "You..." Tong Yanzhen wiped away the tears on her face, and showed a smiling face: "You woke up, I was so worried, the doctor said it was just a little scratch, but there was a slight concussion..."

Ma Guoqiang moved his hands and felt it, moved his legs again and felt it, but his head was heavy and painful.He saw Yuan Qing standing in front of the bed, and said in a low voice, "I'm bringing you more trouble!" Yuan Qing reported the discovery of Hu Maoshu and the copy of the agreement, and said: "The whole thing was premeditated. Behind Bai Xue is Shi Fucai. Who is behind Shi Fucai?" Tong Yanzhen seemed to be taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly lowered her head, her heart was suddenly in a mess. "Yuan Qing," Ma Guoqiang said, "Has Shi Fucai been caught?"

"Not yet. I believe there will be news soon." Ma Guoqiang looked at Yuan Qing: "We must investigate carefully. Anyone who has something to do with this case, no matter how old he is, must not be tolerated." "I'm worried about Ma Tao's safety," Yuan Qing said. "I think there are people around us who know every step we take. In this way, we are very passive..." Ma Guoqiang nodded, but did not speak, his eyes darkened. Yuan Qing didn't say any more, just said "Mayor Ma, take a good rest" and left. Tong Yanzhen twisted a hot towel and gently wiped Ma Guoqiang's face.

Ma Guoqiang looked at Tong Yanzhen's eyes flushed, "Why are you crying? My fate is high, I'm fine." "This is already the second car accident, do you know?" Tong Yanzhen shed tears again. "A coincidence." Ma Guoqiang said. "There are so many accidental things. I heard people say that someone deliberately bumped into you. Those people deliberately wanted to kill you, old horse, you..." Tong Yanzhen choked up and couldn't speak: "Taotao is missing And you are like this again, please, don’t check it, okay?” At this time, the leaders of the hospital and the attending doctor entered the ward, and the attending doctor said: "Mayor Ma, your brain has been hit and you have a slight concussion. You need to rest more."

Tong Yanzhen asked: "Doctor, there will be no sequelae?" The doctor said: "Looking at his condition, there will be no sequelae. Take a good rest and he will recover soon." Ma Guoqiang thought of Wen Sanchun, and hurriedly asked, "How is Secretary Wen?" The dean said: "Secretary Wen's injury is more serious than yours, but there is nothing serious!" Ma Guoqiang was relieved, and the leaders of the hospital and the attending doctor greeted him and left the ward. "Did you hear that?" Tong Yanzhen tucked in the quilt, "Have a good rest. From now on, you should take care of government affairs, and let others take care of some things." "We still need to take care of what should be taken care of." Ma Guoqiang said weakly. "You almost lost your life, why don't you care? Who do you think you are, without you, the earth wouldn't turn? Before you came to Changyuan City, wasn't Changyuan City still doing well, the economy was active, the city The construction is good, don’t take yourself too seriously, you can’t support the sky of Changyuan City by yourself.” Tong Yanzhen said with tears, “If you continue to manage it, even our son’s life…” Ma Guoqiang said guiltily: "Okay, don't worry about it, I'm too tired, I really want to take a good rest." At this moment, Xiao Changchun, Wang Jiancheng and others entered the ward. Tong Yanzhen hurriedly got up and said, "Secretary Xiao, Deputy Mayor Wang, please sit down." Xiao Changchun thanked him, didn't sit down, and stood beside Ma Guoqiang and asked, "Mayor Ma, are you okay?" Ma Guoqiang said, "It's all right." Xiao Changchun said: "I also heard about the car accident. Someone wanted to harm you. Fortunately, Xiao Li drove the car up the hillside, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous." Ma Guoqiang said with a smile: "I have a great fortune, and those people can't kill me." Xiao Changchun glanced back at the people behind him, and said, "I never imagined that Mayor Ma would risk his life for Changyuan City. I see the collapse of the commercial building, so let's stop here!" Ma Guoqiang looked at Xiao Changchun and asked, "Secretary Xiao, how do you plan to explain to the people of Changyuan City, and how do you explain to the families of those who died after the building collapsed?" Xiao Changchun said: "Mayor Ma, I know that you are a very upright person. I don't want you to make unnecessary sacrifices. Your arms can't twist your thighs. Listen to me, there is nothing wrong." Ma Guoqiang heard the meaning of Xiao Changchun's words. During his trip to the provincial capital with Wen Sanchun this time, the relevant provincial leaders talked to them and seemed to have the intention of transferring him away from Changyuan City. Wang Jiancheng stepped forward: "Mayor Ma, rest assured to recuperate, if there is anything you can leave us with!" Ma Guoqiang smiled, "Thank you, Deputy Mayor Wang, I have nothing serious!" Wang Jiancheng said: "Last time I remembered what happened on that mountain road. It's really evil." Ma Guoqiang said with a smile: "There is no way, the first time was an accident, and this time is also an accident!" Wang Jiancheng turned to Tong Yanzhen and said, "You have to take good care of Mayor Ma. Mayor Ma cannot fail. He is the pillar of Changyuan City." Tong Yanzhen said: "That is, I am his wife, if I don't take care of him, who will take care of him?" Ma Guoqiang said: "Old Wang, your work is also very solid. I can't support Changyuan City alone. Without your work, Changyuan City would not be so good." Wang Jiancheng said: "Mayor Ma, in terms of age, you are younger than me, but in terms of level, you are a grade higher than me. Facing you, I can only feel ashamed." Ma Guoqiang said: "The work is done by the unity and cooperation of a group of people from the municipal party committee and municipal government. Without you, what is the use of me alone?" Tong Yanzhen said: "Deputy Mayor Wang, let's talk about it after work. The doctor asked him to rest more." Not long after Xiao Changchun and his party left, Secretary-General Liu Shi'an walked into the ward, holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand.He asked, "Aunt Tong, is Mayor Ma okay?" Tong Yanzhen took the flowers from Liu Shian's hand, put them in a vase, and told about Ma Guoqiang's situation. "It's really dangerous." Liu Shi'an looked very concerned, and turned to Ma Guoqiang, "Mayor Ma, are you okay?" "Xiao Liu, sit down." Ma Guoqiang said. "I'll leave after standing for a while, and I have to go back to the office to catch some materials. Mayor Ma is lucky, and such a big accident has been saved." Liu Shi'an saw that Ma Guoqiang closed his eyes, stood for a while, and looked at Tong Yanzhen. , turned around and left. Finally able to be quiet for a while, Tong Yanzhen looked at Ma Guoqiang, and said softly: "You heard it, everyone advises you not to be too tired at work, and I also advise you to worry less and suffer less. Work is Can't finish it." Ma Guoqiang didn't say a word, maybe he was pondering what the visitor said. Boss Hu didn't find a chick for Shi Fucai.Shi Fucai could not stay any longer after only two days. He didn't want to imagine that a pig locked in a cage might be dragged out and killed at any time. He knew that the reason why Wang Ningsheng didn't dare to attack him was because he had some evidence in his hands. To the Wangs and his sons, those evidences are like a time bomb, ready to explode at any moment.As the Wangs and their sons are, such dangers are not allowed to exist. In the past two days, Shi Fucai has thought about many problems. After getting the 50 million, if it hadn't been for the Wang and his sons who opened their mouths to ask for so many kickbacks, and the leaders of other departments to manage up and down, he would not have dared to spend on engineering raw materials. Moving so many hands and feet led to such a big accident. In all fairness, he is in favor of Ma Guoqiang's clean government construction, but considering the actual situation in Changyuan City's officialdom, the new official takes office three fires, and the clean government construction is probably just a gust of wind.But it never occurred to him that Ma Guoqiang was serious, and the official atmosphere in Changyuan City had also changed a lot. He had just received a call from the person in the city, saying that Hu Maoshu had been found by the police, but he seemed to be dying. His first feeling was that Wang Ningsheng sent someone to do it.But he didn't know that before Hu Maoshu called Yuan Qing, he also called Ma Guoqiang's home, and it was Tong Yanzhen who answered the call.After Tong Yanzhen received the call, she immediately told Liu Shi'an the news that Hu Maoshu was in Dongjiao Machinery Factory.Fortunately, Yuan Qing arrived in time, otherwise all they would be left with was a corpse. Thinking of what happened to Hu Maoshu, Shi Fucai felt that he couldn't stay here any longer and had to find a way to leave.He thought of Ma Tao who was locked in that hut. If the situation changed, those people would attack the child.There is also this drug manufacturing factory, and the manufacture of those things has harmed many people. If Ma Tao is rescued and assists the police in destroying this drug processing factory, I don't know if he will be given leniency.When he thought of this, his heart moved. Yuan Qing walked into Deputy Director Feng's office and saw what Deputy Director Feng was writing on his desk. Deputy Director Feng sensed someone coming in, looked up and saw that it was Yuan Qing, smiled and said, "Director Yuan, why come to my place when you have time?" Yuan Qing sat down on the sofa next to him and said, "I want to talk to you!" Deputy Director Feng put down his pen: "Director Yuan, what do you want to talk about?" "Talk about how you killed Xiao Jiang," Yuan Qing smiled, "Talk about the role you play in this." Deputy Director Feng's face changed drastically, and he calmed down later, and said, "What else do you want to know?" The two sat opposite each other, and their voices were not heavy, as if they were chatting about homework. Yuan Qing said: "That's all I want to know! I know I haven't been in Changyuan for a long time, and I don't know about your intertwined relationships. I'm just investigating the case." Deputy Director Feng took a sip of tea and said, "I advise you not to take this matter too seriously, as long as everyone can get by, otherwise it will be of no benefit to you or me." Yuan Qing said: "No matter what the result is, I just need an answer." Deputy Director Feng sneered, "I know your personality is the same as Ma Guoqiang's, stubborn and stubborn, such a person will not have good results." "I didn't come to listen to your preaching," Yuan Qing said, "If I arrest you, do you think someone will attack you and kill you like Xiao Jiang?" A horrified look flashed across Deputy Director Feng's face, and he said, "I'm also the old Anan, don't use your psychological offensive, I won't listen!" "I know you won't listen, but as a law enforcement officer, you should know what the consequences of intentional homicide are." Deputy Director Feng did not speak. Yuan Qing said: "Don't be so obsessed, I'm saving you, understand?" "You can't save me, and no one can save me." Deputy Director Feng smiled lightly and said, "The crimes I committed are enough to kill me several times. People die for money, and birds die for food. I chose this path." I have no regrets, I have earned enough. If I die, you will never find an answer to this matter!" He suddenly took out his pistol, put it on his temple, and said to Yuan Qing: "I'm sorry , Director Yuan, I also wanted to be an upright policeman like you, but I was still an ordinary policeman until I was 35. Once my wife fell ill and had to pay a deposit of 20,000 yuan when she was sent to the hospital. I have no money, but the people in the hospital saw that there was no money, so they wanted to drive my wife out of the ward. Later, he saved me and gave me 50,000 yuan. I have seen through this society!" Of course he would not say the name of that person. That person was Wang Jiancheng, who was only the deputy director of the industry at that time.With that said, he pulled the trigger. Ma Guoqiang's car accident, plus the murder case at the Dongjiao Machinery Factory, who did it?Tong Yanzhen thought of the phone call to Liu Shi'an, maybe the problem lies in that phone call. Besides her and Liu Shi'an, does anyone else know that Hu Maoshu is in Dongjiao Machinery Factory?After the commercial building collapsed, Hu Maoshu kept hiding, and even the police couldn't find him. Why did he suddenly call Lao Ma?To whom does Lao Ma's anti-corruption work pose a deadly threat?Tong Yanzhen thought about the people she thought were possible, but still couldn't figure it out. After returning from the hospital, she called Liu Shi'an to her home again, and said, "Xiao Liu, I wonder if Auntie Tong should ask some questions?" Liu Shi'an said, "Aunt Tong, just ask!" Tong Yanzhen asked: "Xiao Liu, Lao Ma had a car accident this time, do you think it's strange?" "It's a bit strange." Liu Shi'an said, "Isn't the Public Security Bureau investigating?" Tong Yanzhen said, "I mean why do these people insist on his life?" Liu Shi'an said: "Aunt Tong, I just write materials all day in the office, and I don't understand these things outside." "You guess, who are these people? How much danger does the old horse pose to them?" "Aunt Tong, I really don't know these things." Tong Yanzhen poured a cup of tea for Liu Shi'an: "You have the best relationship with Shi Fucai. Now that Shi Fucai is wanted, you should know it too." "I know that." Tong Yanzhen knew that Liu Shi'an's words could not be found in this way, so she simply made it clear: "Baixue's Hongda Company is a newly established company and has no construction achievements. How could the judges easily give her the construction project of the commercial building?" Woolen cloth?" Liu Shi'an said calmly, "Mayor Ma is hosting the bidding meeting there, he should know." "Lao Ma is a very serious person, and he will not forget his principles because of Bai Xue, and take the risk of giving the commercial building to Hongda Company for experimentation." Tong Yanzhen said: "I have inquired, and Lao Ma wants to cooperate with the company in the provincial capital. The company signed the contract, but in the end a secret ballot was adopted, and Hongda Company received the most votes, so that’s where the problem lies.” Liu Shi'an said: "I believe that Mayor Ma is a very serious person, but you also know that it is a secret ballot, and you can't find out who voted for Hongda Company." "Is it... Deputy Mayor Wang? He is in charge of urban construction." Tong Yanzhen asked tentatively, looking at Liu Shi'an's face. Liu Shi'an was stunned for a moment, he really didn't want to tell Tong Yanzhen about those internal relationships, even though he found more and more that this woman was not simple.He said: "He is the deputy mayor, and I am just the secretary-general. How can I know about the affairs between the leaders?" Tong Yanzhen said seriously: "Xiao Liu, don't play around with me. No one else knows where Hu Maoshu is except you!" Liu Shi'an's heart suddenly hung up: "Aunt Tong, what circle am I going around?" Tong Yanzhen took out a bank card and put it on the coffee table: "The numbers here are increasing. I know who I have become. I can't jump out of this black vortex. The old horse doesn't know this. I have With this card, I will be yours. You gave me this card yourself. You have already calculated this move, right? You told those people where Hu Maoshu was, and they went to kill him. Hu Maoshu, they are trying to silence their mouths by doing this!" Liu Shi'an was startled, but immediately calmed down again, "I don't know how much money is in it, it's done by Shi Fucai for you. I don't know much about Hu Maoshu either, I didn't tell others, please believe it I really." "I understand," Tong Yanzhen said, "You and him are of the same breed, Taotao must have been kidnapped by you, right?" Liu Shi'an saw that the matter had reached such a height, so he knew there was no need to hide it: "Aunt Tong, Taotao is living a very good life, don't worry, they won't hurt him. In fact, they did it out of helplessness. Aunt Tong, You are a smart person, as long as Mayor Ma doesn't insist on investigating the collapse of the commercial building, everyone will be fine. This time Mayor Ma had a car accident, in fact..." "Stop talking, I trust you so much, but you came to harm me unexpectedly." She reached out to grab the phone. "Aunt Tong!" Liu Shi'an snatched the phone, "If I get caught, I will reveal that I lent you 200,000 yuan, and then I will not say that you borrowed it from me, but that you borrowed it from me." Yes, if that happens, what consequences do you think there will be? Also, what will others think about the relationship between Bai Xue and Mayor Ma? Can you say that Mayor Ma is not responsible if Hongda Company won the bid? Don’t forget Tao Tao is still in their hands, Aunt Tong!" After hearing Liu Shi'an's words, Tong Yanzhen murmured, "What should I do? What should I do?" "Aunt Tong, as long as Shi Fucai is safe, everyone will be fine, otherwise..." Liu Shi'an didn't continue, but Tong Yanzhen understood.
